How evil that someone would try to spiritualize something as horrible as taking the life of an innocent child. The Word of God is clear, "Thou shalt not kill" (Exodus 20:13). Curtis Boyd, M.D. and his wife Glenna, at clinics in Albuquerque and Dallas in the States, have for many years helped women to design abortion ceremonies and rituals...
"Women are bombarded by the media and by anti-abortion groups and get the message that they are bad people," says Boyd, an ex-Baptist minister. A ceremony helps the woman undergoing an abortion to realize that she is "a good and caring person who made the best decision she could under difficult circumstances. It also gives her a way to honour the foetus - to be aware of her grief and to express her loss. Ceremonies, Boyd believes, can help to heal, honour and comfort."

When Abortion Is a Sacrament
The lights were low, and Native American flute music played softly. A counselor held the woman's hand, whispering words of comfort as she began to surface from a guided meditation. Then the doctor showed the woman a covered silver bowl that held the tiny remains of her six-week pregnancy. She curled her fingers around his, and her face, now damp with tears, softened as he began their ceremony of letting go.
"We ask your blessing, in the name of love," Curtis Boyd, M D, began softly. Before becoming a doctor, Boyd was a foot-washing Baptist minister in rural East Texas. He left the fold but took with him an abiding faith in the power of ceremony to heal, honor, and comfort.
"Women because of what they are bombarded with in the media and by anti-abortion groups get the message that what they are doing is wrong and that they are bad people," Boyd says, "A ceremony says the woman is a good and caring person who made the best decision she could under difficult circumstances. It also gives her a way to honor the fetus to be aware of her grief and to express her loss."
In the nearly eight years I worked as a counselor and medical assistant at Boyd's clinic in Albuquerque, New Mexico, I witnessed many ceremonies. Some were for couples whose fetuses had died or had medical anomalies. Others were for women who, for whatever reason, knew that it was not the nighttime to bring a child into their world and sought a way to make peace with that decision.
Each blessing ritual was individually designed. One Buddhist couple set up an altar, complete with incense, candles, and rice cakes. Native American women sometimes brought corn meal for sprinkling during their blessings. Boyd has since retired from performing surgery, but he and his wife and partner, psychologist Glenna Halvorson-Boyd, still guide the work done at her Albuquerque and Dallas clinics. All patients have an opportunity to perform their own rituals or to create new ceremonies with the help of counselors.
This particular afternoon, in the soft light of the surgery room, Boyd concluded the ceremony with a prayer: "We ask that you honor this woman's courage and bless her and her family as they move forward in their lives."

It is sinful to abort a child. In this selfish and rebellious generation in which we live in, people are totally irresponsible with life. We work relentlessly to save the whales, while murdering little babies by the millions. We go to utmost lengths in an attempt to save sickly and deformed children, while aborting perfectly healthy children. A man was sentenced to 9-months in prison for killing an eagle; BUT, the SAME government protects abortion doctors who kill humans. The world has gone insane!!! Every child has a right to live.
The Occult Roots of Rock-n-roll and
Abortion
Every woman who has an abortion should feel guilt, MUCH guilt. Murdering someone is a horrible crime against humanity, and an abomination in the sight of God. How could any mother kill her own flesh and blood??? You may think that your rights are supreme; but God and the baby have rights too.
No ceremony can justify or undo the evils of abortion. Feminism, witchcraft, lesbianism, homosexuality, New Age philosophies, and abortion--have ALL infested America at the SAME TIME (over the past 40 years)! Don't you think that is kind of odd? The reason is simple--sin and evil are a package deal. When a nation rebels against God by allowing something as hideous as rock-n-roll music (which is rooted in Satanism), then every sin imaginable follows. It was no coincidence that Anton LaVey founded the Church of Satan in 1966. It was at the same time that prayer and Bible reading were removed from the public school system.
It was at the same time that feminism reared it's ugly head. Hundreds of rock-n-roll bands were formed, many originating from the Church of Satan. Marilyn Manson is even a high priest of the Church of Satan. Aleister Crowley (a known sexual degenerate, God-hater, and occultist) has been praised as a hero by several rock-n-rolls legends, including the Beatles who include Crowley's photo on their Sgt. Peppers album cover.
In 1966, the Beach Boys released "Pet Sounds" which features the band members feeding goats (representative of Satan in witchcraft and Satanism). Then there's Paul McCartney's 1971 album, RAM, which features Paul fondling a Ram on the album cover (very creepy to anyone who understands that the ram is also representative of Satan in witchcraft and Satanism). Here's a quote from Mr. Beach Boy himself...
"We were doing witchcraft, trying to make witchcraft music."
SOURCE: Brian Wilson quoted in Nick Kent's The Dark Stuff (pg.27.)
Patricia Kennealy of The Doors was a professed Wiccan witch! Even bands such as Earth, Wind, and Fire and the Allen Parson's Project were clearly Satanic, promoting the occult. One of the top songs of the 70's was "Hotel California" by the Eagles. Most people have no idea the song refers to the Church of Satan, which happens to be located in a converted HOTEL on CALIFORNIA street! On the inside of the album cover, looking down on the festivities, is Anton LaVey, the founder of the Church of Satan and author of the Satanic Bible!
People say, the Eagles aren't serious, they're just selling records. That's what you think! The Eagles manager, Larry Salter, admitted in the Waco Tribune-Herald, (Feb. 28, 1982) that the Eagles were involved with the Church of Satan! Not surprisingly, one of the Eagle's songs is titled "Have A Good Day in Hell."
It's not pop culture; it's pop occulture! I could go on and on about the Satanic roots of rock music; and not just rock... Dolly Parton recently sang and re-popularized one of the most notorious Satanic songs ever written (Stairway to Heaven) by one of the most notorious Satanic bands ever, Led Zeppelin. Even Johnny Cash sold out to Satan. The spiritually alert believer recognizes that Satan is being promoted.
Now you're probably wondering what all this talk about rock-n-roll has to do with abortion; in a word... EVERYTHING! Few people realize the occult influences and philosophies inherent with the rock-n-roll culture. America's citizens don't realize just how much the Devil's music has CHANGED America for the worse, MUCH worse.
The famous artists themselves are ALL rebellious, sin-loving, God-haters. A quick look at a few artists proves my point. Elton John is a homosexual. The American people have grown up listening to the vile music of a homosexual. You hear his music in stores, in most places of work, in restaurants, etc. This is extremely deceiving because many people associate his pretty music with his lifestyle. They reason that since Elton John sings good music, then homosexuality must not be so bad; BUT, God says that homosexuality is a horrible sin (Romans 1:25-32).
I am not trying to be unkind, I am just stating a FACT... Rock-n-roll is a religion of Satanism, the occult, witchcraft, immoral sex, feminism, rebellion against authority, drug abuse, alcoholism, and ABORTION! What the iron fist of Communism couldn't achieve, the subtle self-destroying effects of Rock 'N' Roll music is accomplishing. Our society is being moral subverted deliberately, training teenagers to fornicate instead of courtship and marriage. The rich power elite want to create a society where parents are mere incubators producing loyal servants of the Communist State.
I realize that there are many other contributing factors such as television, the godless public school system, cable TV, liberal theologians, planned parenthood (Murderhood), corrupt Bibles, the evil Federal Reserve bankers, a lying news media, dead churches, corruption in government, etc, etc, etc.; BUT, the Devil's music has been the catalyst which has allowed all these things to thrive and fester.
The music itself is demonic and influences it's listener's for Satan. Abortion didn't just happen one day, it began as a result of a generation of youth who became DESENSITIZED towards sin because of various Godless influences, mainly rock-n-roll. It is not mere coincidence that abortion has flourished in a nation which praises the godless rock star idols of rock-n-roll. The entire message of rock-n-roll is sexual liberation, fornication, and immorality.
From Lorelei ("Lorelei let's live together") by Styx, to Twist and Shout ("shake it up baby") by the Beatles... Rock 'N' Roll promotes sexual sins. The natural result is UNWANTED pregnancies and abortion! You cannot have a sexually promiscuous society that shakes it's fist in the face of God (by breaking God's moral laws), and then expect God's blessings! Abortion is the direct result of a sin-loving people with few morals. This is the sum of Rock 'n' Roll. END
